Description by OLDIES.com:

Percy's first album of music popular with teenagers (circa early 60's!) won the gold record award; so it is no surprise there was an equally brilliant sequel "More Themes For Young Lovers." Rhythmic, but never at the expense of the melody. The second half of this CD brings us to Percy's Latin music, this time with lots of bossa-nova rhythms, including songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim. (Bill Halvorsen)

Product Description:

2 LPs on 1 CD: MORE THEMES FOR YOUNG LOVERS (1964)LATIN THEMES FOR YOUNG LOVERS (1965).

Originally released on Columbia.

Liner Note Author: Mark Marymont.

Recording information: 02/13/1964-10/22/1964.

This two-fer CD combines Percy Faith's 1964 album (More Themes for Young Lovers) and the follow-up (Latin Themes for Young Lovers). These LPs were originally released on Columbia Records and had been out of print until being reissued in 2003 on Collectables. This pleasant set includes familiar songs like "Wives and Lovers," "Spanish Harlem," "Since I Fell for You," and "One Note Samba," in addition to completely banal offerings like "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um" and "Popsicles & Icicles." Those who appreciate easy listening music, or anything kitsch in general, should find this a welcome addition to their collection. ~ Al Campbell
